Remember Your Creator In Your Youth

Light is sweet and good for the eyes to see the brightness of the Sun, For if someone lives a thousand years, may they rejoice in all of them. But let us remember, for a thousand years in the sight of the LORD are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a night watch in the night time and that the days of darkness are many and everything comes to vanity. Rejoice, O you young one, in your youth, and in your early years may your hearts do you good, walk in the path of your heart and the desire of your eyes; But know that in all these things God will bring you into judgment, that you may remove the anger from your heart, so that distress may leave all your parts. Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the difficult days come and the years arrive when you say, "I have no pleasure in them"; before the sun, light, moon, and stars are darkened, and the clouds leave after the rain; in the day when those watching the house tremble, and the strong one are bent over; when the grinders cease because they are few, and those looking through windows have dimmed eyes, and the doors on the street are shut, and the sound of grinding is low, and one rises up at the sound of birds, and all the daughters of song are brought low, when they are frightened of heights, even the terrors along the way, and desire fails, because you may go to your eternal home, and the mourners go about the streets. So remember your Creator before the cord of silver is snapped, or the jar by the spring is broken or the wheel at the cistern crushed. The dust returns to the earth where it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it. Remember who you are and who's you are in your youth before it all becomes vanity in your sight.
